Our Graded Schools.

For many years Prescott's fine graded schools have been her pride and glory. Since the present scs. sion opened, with Prof. T.J Craw- ford as Superintendent, there has been nearly 300 pupils enrolled. .-- The school is divided into seven different grades, according to age and knowledge of pupils. with a teacher for each grade.
 Professor Crawford and wife have won the confidence and es- teem of our people, as instructors of more than usual ability. Their methods of teaching are eminent. ly practical, and easily cOmpre. hended and understood by their pupils.
 On several occasions tue editor of this paper has visited the school. and was each time fOrci, bly, impressed with the rapid ad- vancement shown in the develop ment of pupils in the higher grades taught by the Professor and his wife. On Monday, we heard Prof. Crawford for one hour, teaching arithmetic in the 9th grade, composed of 6S pnpils. between the ages Of 10 and l6. was surprising to note the promptness with which they an. swered and explained problems in common fractions. ratio and pro- portion. And though only four days in percentage, they could ea- silly solve difficult problems there. in. Another thing, the Professor has thoroughly taught them in the metric system, which was never before done here. We were high ly pleased with what we heard and saw Monday.
 Our people are right in pushing our public schools. As all are pleased with our splendid Super. intendent, let us aid and encour. age him all in our power.
